Article Code

The term “article code” has its equivalent in German in the “Sachnummer”. Both terms refer to identification codes that are used in warehouse management and logistics to uniquely identify articles and products.

The article number is an alphanumeric code that assigns a unique identification to each article. This number is used to uniquely identify items in order to avoid mix-ups and ensure a smooth warehouse and logistics process. In German companies, the use of article numbers in warehouse management is widespread.

The article code is the English term for the item number. In international contexts, especially in companies working with global supply chains, the term “article code” is used to refer to the same concept of unique item identification.

Both identification codes play a crucial role in inventory management. Not only do they enable precise warehouse management, they are also indispensable in automated systems such as warehouse management software. By using article codes or part numbers, companies can accurately monitor inventory, efficiently track incoming and outgoing goods and ensure the accuracy of their warehouse data.

The integration of modern technologies, such as RFID tags or barcodes, into item coding facilitates the automatic recording and tracking of items in the warehouse. This leads to further optimization of warehouse processes and contributes to increased efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Overall, article codes and item numbers are crucial elements in ensuring precise and efficient warehouse management and meeting the requirements of modern logistics.
